Lift Me
Speak to me words of happiness today
Reap what you sow for my utter dismay
It's incredible how time flies nowadays
It's indescribable - this emotion I held on to for so many days
Lift me...what about you lift me?
Give me...give me a reason to believe
Relieve the scars inside me, baby
Drifting away from His lane...now, I grieve
This emotion caught me under its wicked spell
My devotion, my darling love...where do you dwell?
There is a river of hope between us, so don't worry
There is a maze we must get through to feel happy
Lift me and you'll see that I am stronger
Than you realize and I will show you straight
In the eyes...you're blind and I no longer
Mind that you desert me with horrendous hate
The grains of sand is dangling on the bottom of my feet
I need to understand where I stand to feel complete
Speak to me words of passionate delight, so I can see the light tonight
Open up the corridors of my pure strength, so I can fight the good fight
Lift me up higher than the clouds above
I am down and about in the streets of darkness
Encourage me to ascend with your love
I am walking this town of distressful discreetness
Let me sleep in benevolent bliss,
Not in despair or hopelessness
I lay down in bed, wide awake again
Wondering where my mind has been…
Lift me...lift me up, dear, and you'll be so amazed
At what I can do...I am longing to overcome
The waves of emotion that left us in a sad daze
Mend the bullet wounds that left me numb
The mirror reflects this worthlessness inside
The shallow waters below me is where I'll hide
Your shadow of shame embraced the moonlight
I seek the sunshine of better days every night
Lift me higher again and again and again
Take me out of my dark and desolate den
Uplift me with your shimmering might too
Sift out the strife and make me a brighter blue
I am trying to breathe in the flames of your passion
I am flying a little bit more and I smile with compassion
I pray that happiness comes my way every single minute of every single day
I must say how proud I am to feel the way I feel today or actually tonight, but hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
What about you lift me?
What about today?
I pray that you set me free…
Lift me up from where I lay
Don't just leave me be in misery
Darling of delight and light,
You're my sunny day
Amongst a night of awful fright
Baby, be with me today
I wish you were free with me…
Hey, what about tonight?
What about you lift me eternally?
Forever eager to take flight..
No longer lingering around the crowd of disarray
No longer do I feel the need to cry due to dismay
I will keep on smiling during my hardships from now on, Lord Most High
Oh, I will be walking a million miles just to resist temptation that's nigh
